Hi Dojo,

I have a question, that derives from this thread.

I would like to use the alarm state of a view (respective the highest severity of alarms in all views below that view) as variable in an automation script. Is there a method to retrieve that value from a view? This should then finally used to set a value of a property for this view.

My scripts looks like this and is working well with a fixed value instead of the alarm severity variable and includes some exception handling already.

public class Script
{

    public void Run(Engine engine)
    {
        ViewInfoEventMessage[] allViews = GetViews();
        
        if(allViews == null)
        {
            engine.ExitFail("No views were found");
        }
    
        foreach(ViewInfoEventMessage view in allViews)
        {
            // do the filtering of views you want to update
            if(view.Name.Equals("ABC"))
                {    
                    UpdateViewProperty(view,"ABC","12345",engine);
                }
        }
    }

    public void UpdateViewProperty(ViewInfoEventMessage view, string propertyName, string propertyValue, Engine engine)
    {
        SetDataMinerInfoMessage request = new SetDataMinerInfoMessage();
        request.bInfo1 = Int32.MaxValue;
        request.bInfo2 = Int32.MaxValue;
        request.DataMinerID = -1;
        request.ElementID = -1;
        request.HostingDataMinerID = -1;
        request.IInfo1 = Int32.MaxValue;
        request.IInfo2 = Int32.MaxValue;

        SA sa = new SA();
        sa.Sa = new String[] { propertyName, "read-write", propertyValue };
        PSA psa = new PSA();
        psa.Psa = new SA[] { sa };
        request.Psa2 = psa;

        request.StrInfo1 = $"view:{view.ID}";
        request.What = 62;
        SetDataMinerInfoResponseMessage response = engine.SendSLNetSingleResponseMessage(request) as SetDataMinerInfoResponseMessage;
        
        if (response.iRet != 0)
        {
            engine.GenerateInformation($"Update of property {propertyName} on View {view.Name} was not OK");
        }
    }

    public ViewInfoEventMessage[] GetViews()
    {
        var getViewsList = new GetInfoMessage
    {
            
    DataMinerID = -1,
    Type = InfoType.ViewInfo
};

DMSMessage[] dmsma = Engine.SLNet.SendMessage(getViewsList);

if (dmsma == null)
{
    return null;
    }

        return Array.ConvertAll(dmsma, input => (ViewInfoEventMessage)input);
    }
}

Could you enlighten me?

Many thanks in advance and best regards

André
